Inchworm anyone?

A very disappointing loss to the Hawks last round. Yes, it was coming off a bye (and we are historically poor in that circumstance), yes it was away and in Tassie (again, not a great record), and yes we had significant injuries ... but last year we overcame all of those issues for our run in the...

Votes were spread around this round, here's where they ended up: And the running total - Toby has made it into the top 5:

5 - Xavier O'Halloran 3 - Finn Callaghan 3 - Keiren Briggs 2 - Brent Daniels 1 - Lachie Whitfield 1 - Connor Idun

Sadly, yes.

A bad loss, showing once again that we start slowly off a bye. A couple of good performances amongst the rubbish. Who deserves your votes this week? 15 to give, max 5 to any single player, and you don't need to give them all out if you don't think they're warranted. Over to you!

OK, well we had a couple more goalkickers in the second half that meant it wasn't a complete wipeout, and so the new rule has done its job in thinning out the competition. Both your primary & secondary goalkickers needed to kick goals, so a "double green" gets you a smiley face, and anything...

:mad:

An absolute bonus for GWS. Yes, lucky that he was academy, but he brings plenty of skill notwithstanding his size. This game is a bit of a fumbly slugfest. Only good thing so far is the scoreboard.

Scoreboard end is the away end, that's where your cheer squad will go. In reality, supporters of each team get scattered throughout most of the stadium, but the scoreboard end will be "identifiably" the away team end.

Well, at halftime, if we don't get any more goal kickers, we'll go from everyone's in, to a winner in one round! Hogan-Cadman the only duo that's scored up to halftime. :(

Harvey to 'Halloran :thumbsu:

OK, reminder for today's game, the new rule will be in force, requiring both primary & secondary players to kick goals to advance, with an additional player able to be nominated as a reserve (in case of late drop out of a P or S player). As it stands: Colonial: P - Hogan S - Cadman Giant Yoyo...

Off the bye, in Tasmania, carrying a lot of injuries in the squad. Hopefully the players who run onto UTAS are primed for a 100% effort - we cannot afford to drop a game to the Hawks. The midfield battle is going to be key, including getting on top of Will Day. Tom Green & Keiren Briggs need to...

Yes, I would assume that Angwin will go onto the wing, and Wehr will drop back into defence. Taylor, HH, Aleer, Idun, Haynes, Whitfield & Wehr is a tall defensive group.

Yes, Nick Shipley (ND #64, 2017), Kieren Briggs (ND #34, 2018) & James Peatling (MSD #8, 2021) are from western Sydney. Also, Harry Cunningham (RD #93, 2012) and Ely Smith (ND #21, 2018) spent some time in the GWS academy but moved or were selected by other teams, both from western Sydney too.

Good show. Feel relieved at that news.

Hopefully, "it" is not: or

That, sir, is my nightmare!

Yes, that what the stats said, and presumably contributes significantly to his AF score. I didn't see the game because I was at work, so I can't comment from first hand knowledge.

Definitely a danger game. We don't have a great away record this year; and our long-term away record in Tasmania (noting where Norths and Hawks have been the last few years) is not inspiring. Add to this that Hawks are the third most "in form" team at the moment, and we have a massive injury...
